Robert Cumberford

[edit]
  • ... that automotive design critic Robert Cumberford called the Jaguar XKE "the ultimate automotive expression of phalliform perfection?"

Created by 842U (talk). Self nominated at 12:44, 5 March 2015 (UTC).

  • On the contrary, the seven day window did not expire until 13:47:26 on March 5th, and this nom was made on March 5th at 7:04. Either way, unlike some "three paragraph" articles, this is a thorough, interesting and meritorious article that is worth special papal dispensation.842U (talk) 15:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
  • My mistake, in that case it does indeed meet the required criterion. Coffee // have a cup // beans // 15:45, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Coffee, DYK reviews are supposed to specify what criteria have been checked and what the results were: size, hook, citations, neutrality, close paraphrasing, QPQ, and so on. A single criterion is not sufficient; please touch on all the criteria in your review (see T:TDYK#How to review a nomination for further details). Thanks.

  • Frankly, I've never seen an article that looks like this on Wikipedia. The lead is way too long; the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th paragraphs belong in another section, called something like "Opinions". The quote box under the picture of the Jaguar has way too much copy for a quote box; it, too, should be incorporated into the article. The Career section could also use some subheads to break up the copy. Yoninah (talk) 22:40, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Frankly, the article has been approved by another editor. That said, all of your comments have been incorporated. By all means, please feel free to review the article again and make any suggestions you feel would improve the nomination. 842U (talk) 00:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
  • Thank you for taking my suggestions seriously. Restoring tick based on Coffee's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:57, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
